This production of West Side Story re-stages the action in a 2017 America, on the cusp of drastic change in our socio-political fabric.

Using Bernstein's lush score, the beauty of this powerful love story comes to the forefront, against a backdrop of feuding families, deep racial tensions and a bond that transcends skin color and ethnicity.

Cold and Unforgiving concrete structures provide a blank canvas onto which the story plays, using otherwise banal elements to gently indicate changes in space and underline a social fragility, on the brink of explosion.
